These examples reveal a deeper point: our language reflects underlying systems of power. https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/ama-aamc-equity-guide.pdf

So the AMA liberals buy their Woke nobility titles, as they hire wokeness teachers like Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo.

Dr. Harmon, President of the AMA, says that they are changing "adjectives that dehumanize individuals by reducing them to their diagnosis—simply referring to a patient living with diabetes as a 'diabetic.'"  

No more labelling "groups of people as 'vulnerable' to chronic disease while ignoring the entrenched power structures, such as racism, that have put them at higher risk"!  https://www.ama-assn.org/about/leadership/our-words-matter-it-s-time-get-them-right

Now that they hired fairness specialists from the appropriate sectors, all is forgiven.  Including the refusal to cure covid patients and the persecution of good doctors and the approval of deadly remdesivir.  

Now they hired the appropriate Woke Cult pastors, no one can complain about the incredible percentage of Black victims, whom the AMA did not tell that their dark skin made them unable to produce in their skin sufficient vitamin D.  Instead, they bowed and scraped and blamed innate racism.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
 

Woke (/ˈwk/ WOHK) is an adjective meaning 'alert to racial prejudice and discrimination' that originated in African-American Vernacular English (AAVE). Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for left-wing ideas involving identity politics and social justice, such as the notion of white privilege and slavery reparations for African Americans.

The phrase stay woke had emerged in AAVE by the 1930s, referring to an awareness of the social and political issues affecting African Americans. The phrase was uttered in a recording by Lead Belly

Lead Belly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Huddie William Ledbetter (/ˈhjdi/; January 23, 1888 – December 6, 1949),[1] better known by the stage name Lead Belly, was an American folk and blues singer, musician, and songwriter notable for his strong vocals, virtuosity on the twelve-string guitar, and the folk standards he introduced, including his renditions of "In The Pines", "Goodnight, Irene", "Midnight Special", "Cotton Fields", and "Boll Weevil".

"Lead Belly says at the end of an archival recording of the song that he’d met with the Scottsboro defendants’ lawyer, who introduced him to the men themselves. 'I made this little song about down there,' Lead Belly says. 'So I advise everybody, be a little careful when they go along through there — best stay woke, keep their eyes open.' "

Lead Belly's song was a warning about survival, in a world where police in the South could arrest anyone who passed through town without money, white hobos or Black musician.  Vagrancy was a crime and police, by arresting vagrants, could get free chain gang labor, that could be rented out, to local businessmen.  Of course, any local crime, real or imaginary as in the case of the could be solved, tagging a traveling person.

Anyway, Lead Belly's warning, going back to the tragic days of the early 20th Century, ends up in  whimper, as a liberal show of virtue signalling.
